LMG. Kira got a solicitation letter from the Navy, so she just called them up

[crim son]

and told them she was a "flaming dyke" and would they please take her off the mailing list "because you don't want this!"

Her orientation begins today at the maritime college she's attending... it will be the last day for the next year that she won't be forced to wear the regimental uniform when on campus and she intends to make the most of it.

Ah, Little Goobie. They're still not grown up even as they leave for college, but damn they're cute.

1. Good for her. It sounds like she let 'em have an earful.

What's this maritime college thing all about? Is it like the merchant marine? :shrug::dunce:

[crim son]

4. It does train merchant marines

so all students for the first year take the regimented program. She's doing chemical engineering with no interest in joining the military.

[Aristus]

7. Chemical engineering. Wow. My head is spinning. She's an awfully smart young lady.

I feel like a dunce... :P

[crim son]

8. She is smart.

Her dad is a PhD physicist and she has his brains and drive. MY NOSE, though! :P

And I think you are perfect! :loveya:

[Aristus]

9. Awww!

:loveya:

2. Good on Kira.

Got the sailor 'tude down already.

[crim son]

5. She was born with it.

A strange baby, she was. :P

3. Please pass on my regards as a former Navy man AND Merchant Marine.

The Merchants have FAR better food. :hi:

[crim son]

6. I willl, and thanks, billyoc!

Right now she's a vegetarian and we're all wondering how long that will last. :hi:

[jmowreader]

10. It will last...

until she goes out on a ship and they break out the salt pork and hardtack.

[GreenPartyVoter]

11. LOL Is she attending MMA?

[crim son]

12. Yes!

Today is the first day of her her orientation and we'll be heading out in a few minutes. Her dad's still in Germany otherwise I'd have him tke her because he knows everybody there. She's excited!

[GreenPartyVoter]

13. Wave at my house on the way by. LOL Tell her good luck from me. :^)

[ThomCat]

14. That Is AWESOME!

:rofl:

I hope she enjoys and survives MMA. It's an interesting kind of place. I didn't care much for the atmosphere and culture at that school. But like all schools it has good and bad.

She's got a good attitude going in. I hope she keeps it and develops it into something even more beautiful. :)
